PART 1
Career Plan
At the time of finishing my college in the year 2016. The first think which was in front
of me is to shape my career and the first step toward the same was to select the first job, so that
on the basis of the same I can build on a successful career ahead. At the time of completing my
degree of BE Aeronautical in the year 2016, first think which was in my mind was to have first
job in a company where I can gain a quantity of knowledge and experience. As I was always has
to have thought that knowledge and experience are the two thing which used to shout loudly in
the competitive market at the time of applying for any job in multinational company. My
educational background used to highlights the bachelor's of Engineering in Aeronautical field,
which was done in the year 2016. There were many field which was in front of me but Aviation
field was the one who has always attracted me toward the same. The biggest reason behind the
same is the vast area of knowledge and professionalism which is offered by the field to the
candidate opting for the same. As from the time of childhood I was very much addicted to the
flights and air transport it has also drive my interest toward the Aviation field.
Gujarat chloride company, is the company where I have served for the first time as a
professional. I was recruited at the post of administrator in the organization and I have served the
company for the 3 year on the same post. Company profile was not in the interest line of mine
but the role and responsibility which post used to offer to me was the one thing which has drive
me to serve for the company for that long duration in the organization. The main responsibility
1

of mine over there was to build a link between the different department in the organization. By
syncing the performance of one department with the other department in the organization and has
to make sure that all the department in the organization used to work with the proper efficiency
in the organization. This has eventually helped me in improving the communication as well as
decision making skill of mine. As I was the one who used to provide the crucial hand of support
in term of information of different department and also with the knowledge of the current
situation to the project manager at the time of taking any decision. Another responsibility which
was served by me was to maintain the human resources motivation in the organization, as I was
the one who used to work as a link between the employee and the senior management in the
organization. This has helped me in improving the motivation power of mine in the organization.
The reason behind selecting Gujarat Chloride company rather than any Aviation field
organization is that I want to build some management skill as well. Getting a degree from the
college has helped me in gaining the theoretical and practical knowledge about the aircraft
designing or carrying out the operation of company but in the competitive world it is very much
necessary to have a multiple skill set in them. As a result I have decided to gain some
management skill and I was very much successful also in doing the same as 3 year tenure over
there has helped me in building the variety of management skill.
Now, as I am confident enough on the different skill set which has been built and
knowledge and experience which is possessed by me, I am targeting to follow the path which
used to interest me the most. As in future I am targeting to have a job in the multinational
company in the field of the Aviation. As educational background and education learning used to
motivate me to enter the field of aircraft designing as I am confident enough to perform the job
role with full proficiency. Management skill which is build by me in the previous job role will
work as a icing on the cake as this will eventually help in understanding and operating the
different operation of the company in the better way as compare to any other in the organization.
Also as I am targeting the job role of aircraft designed project manager or Aviation project
manager, the past experience which was gained by me will play a crucial role as this role will
require a management skill. Also I will be targeting some shortlisted firm such as general
dynamics company ,aviation dynamic company.

Those mentioned skills are very important and effective for people to maintain its their
growth factors. This creates more effectiveness for becoming successful in their chosen sector.
The aviation sector is very wide area and for get success in project management here is need to
maintain all those skills (Yamada, 2015). As per the PDP some skills are very weak in that
required to improve all those skills by using some action which are mentioned in log of
achievement which is the list of 20 separate activities. Some weaknesses are lack of self-
confidence, reading for different purposes, project planning, time management, decision-making
and interpersonal skills. Those are creates more effectiveness for business by meeting
effectively.
The result of improving all those skills are help to get the success in changing field in
better manner. This creates more effectiveness for people to better management goals.
Weakness, skills and actions are the great combination which is helpful for generate more
productive performance by giving hard efforts in respective manner. With the help of this,
individual is able to meet and align goals which is becoming successful project management in
aviation industry. There are various activities is organized for improve those in an effective
manner. Those are very important and effective for individual in order to meet the objective. At
the time of giving presentation, faced problem because I have lack of confidence which is
created negative impact (Pavese, 2016). For that, here is made some actions which are taking
review from seniors and managed work.
7

Those are help to build self-confidence in effective manner. This creates more
effectiveness. On the other project planning is also important for becoming successful project
management, here is need to make effective and valuable risks. This skill is also weak for that
here is take some decisions and actions which are communication skills, time management skills
and other important skills are highly helped to managed skills in effective manner. Those are the
same skills are more important to improve and develop skills in effective manner for getting
more effectiveness (Coeckelbergh, 2015). Improvements of those skills are very important and
effective for business which is help to meet those actions in effective manner. If skills are not
improved then that creates issues for future problems and creates various issues. For that it is
very important to improve those skills in effective manner by using appropriate action which are
mentioned in PDP and log of achievements.
Part 3: Research Proposal
Topic: “To analyze the contribution of different project management methodologies while
implementing strategies in business with regards to project management".
Background, Motivation, relevance, Source of knowledge
Project management plan is that document which describe each and every phase of the
project in summarize way. In the same way, researcher interest is also related to project
management so that it will help to attain the future objectives. In the same way, current study is
also based upon different methodologies which are used by the researcher in order to complete
the project in better way.
Rationale: The researcher chooses this particular topic because researcher have their
own interest to conduct the research on this particular topic. Further, this topic will help the
researcher to gain knowledge especially related to project management methodologies so that it
will help in future plans as well. Moreover, the selected topic is vast and there are different
methodologies that also assist researcher to attain defined aim and objectives, as researcher
wants to get a good job in multinational company such that general dynamics company or an
aviation company in which scholar may work as an aircraft design project manager or aviation
project manager.
Summary: The selected topic is, identify the contribution of different project
management methodologies in business and for that the researcher, reflect all the research
methodologies which helps to attain the defined aim and objectives. Further, research proposal
8

also identify relevant authors and journals to present their views so that the researcher may attain
the define aim. Further, proposal describe objectives and the project plan which includes
deliverable, resources, cost and time with risk management log as well. Lastly, it presents
ethical, legal, social and professional consideration in order to present the research proposal in
better way
Research methodology: It is the specific document which determine, select and analyze
the information related to particular topic. In the same way, current study also uses the
methodologies which are as mention:
Research Approach: It is the plan or procedure for research which spans the steps from
the broad assumption to detailed methods of information gathering, analysis and interpretation.
For that, research chooses deductive research approach because it helps the researcher to
generate the best results, and this approach is based upon the assumption through which
researcher may attain the defined aim i.e. To analyze the contribution of different project
management methodologies while implementing strategies in business with regards to project
management.
Research strategy: In order to conduct the research in better way, researcher will chooses
qualitative research strategy which mainly focus on the collecting data using open ended
communication. This method also helps the researcher to let understand others point of view and
then generate results so that it will help to accomplish defined aim.
Research design: It is the set of methods and procedures which is used to collect and
analyzing the variables of the specified problem. Thus, researcher opted descriptive research
design under conclusive research because it helps the researcher to test hypothesis and also
develop relationship. Further, this method will helps to generate the best results related to project
management.
Data collection: For the current study, researcher uses both primary and secondary
research. Such that for primary research, researcher chooses survey method in which
questionnaire is used that helps to determine the views of different selected respondents. For
secondary research, researcher uses books, articles and journals in order to support the secondary
research so that it will help to determine the contribution of different project methodologies in
business.
9

Data analysis: To conduct the research in precise manner, researcher uses thematic data
analysis methods under qualitative data analysis so that researcher will present each finding
using charts, tables and pictures in order to look more presentable. Thus, this method will help
the researcher to meet the defined aim and complete it within specified deadline.
Sampling: Researcher will use simple random sampling method under probability
sampling method and 30 employees of aviation industry are selected randomly in order to
determine their views so that researcher may easily accomplish the defined aim.
Literature Review:
Different project management methodologies
As per the view of Rasnacis and Berzisa (2017) agile is the project management
methodology which is best suited for the projects because it is a type of process where demand
and solutions are evolve with the help of cross functional team. While, Joslin and Müller (2015)
stated that scrum is another project management methodology whose goal is to deliver and
sustain complex products through collaboration, iterative progress. This method is best suited
when project consist of team less than seven people.
According to Lei and et.al., (2017) Kanban is good and popular agile framework which
mainly focus on early release with collaborative and self-managing teams. Its main aim is to
deliver the high quality of results by providing the best picture of the workflow process. This
methodology is great for personal productivity purpose. While, Shamshurin and Saltz (2019)
stated that lean production helps to promote and maximizing the customer value in order to
minimize waste. This strategy main aim is to create more value for customers. Moreover,
waterfall is another project management methodology which response to manage increasingly
complex nature of software developments, but this method require lot of focused. As per the
view of Baham and et.al., (2017) hybrid approach is another project management approach
which is the combination of waterfall and agile methodology that mainly focus on gathering and
analyzing requirement at initial level.
To analyze positive and negative impact of different methodologies upon business strategy
According to Saltz, Heckman and Shamshurin (2017) agile methodology helps the
business to mainly focus on requirements as, it gives the resources much more freedom to make
changes on the strategy, in turns it creates positive impact upon business. On contrary, there is no
fixed plan which emphasize to responding the changes and due to lack of plan, it is harder for the
10

project leader to make resource manage and proper scheduling, in turns it creates negative
impact upon the business and its strategy (Different project management methodologies, 2018).
Additionally, Kirovska and Koceski (2015) argues that scrum helps to remove the mistakes and
then rectify them because it is easy to visible all stages of the process throughout development,
as a result, creates good impact upon business. But on the other side, it requires strong
commitment from all the members of a team and also require experience person for
accomplishing task. That is why, it creates negative impact upon business.
Waterfall project methodology is consider one of the most simple method to understand
in project management and due to having clear structure and mainly focus on gathering and
understanding the requirement which makes the model popular in business. As per the view of
Stoica and et.al., (2016) due to easy documentation and it relies for new resources to move In
and work on the project leads to creates positive impact upon business, while it entirely depend
heavily upon researcher understanding. Further, waterfall methodology has strong rigidity such
that while implementing any strategy, if researcher found any error, then there is a need to start
the project from beginning which leads to delay the project and creates negative impact.
According to Vijayasarathy and Butler (2015) using hybrid method while implementing
strategy will also help the business to increase flexibility and different changes may also be
implemented without any error. While on the other side, this method needs compromise
regarding flexibility and requirements and that is why, majority of the business did not use this
methods because it consumes time and resources, in turns it creates positive impact upon
business.
As per the journals by Rasnacis and Berzisa (2017) is best suited because this helps to
describe the importance of agile methodology in business with its positive and negative impact.
Further, the research main aim is to analyze different methodologies within project management.
The article also helps the researcher to gain deep knowledge about the related topic so that it will
helps to attain the defined aim and objectives. Moreover, the article also assist researcher to
collect enough information related to topic so that defined aim and objectives are easily attain
and accomplish.

Project management plan
Deliverable: It is the product and services which are used during the project so that the
project may leads to attain defined aim and objectives. For current project, deliverable are project
scope statement and gantt chart that specifies that plan is actually used to describe the entire
project in systematic way.
Resources: For this project, there are different resources that helps to complete the
project in better way. Such that human resources, financial resources and technological resources
that helps to attain the defined aim in better way (Patwardhan and et.al., 2016). Further, effective
training and development is also implemented in order to accomplish the defined aim and
objectives.
13

Skills: Effective communication skills should be required because it helps to
communicate the aim and objectives with all the stakeholder so that they will also understand the
importance of topic for future. Moreover, team management skills is also required because it
helps to develop the team so that they all helps to meet the defined aim in better manner
(Solomon and et.al., 2015).
Time: It is another important part of the project management plan which state how much
time is required in order to complete the project such that from gantt chart it is clearly describe
that, it takes around 1 month to complete the project and attain the defined aim and objectives in
better way.
Methods to be used: there are different methods which are used by the project manager
in order to conduct the research in better manner such that brainstorming, causes and effects
diagram, gantt charts, ethical concern that helps to complete the defined aim and objectives in
better manner (Flick, 2015). Further, researcher also uses PERT analysis which is program
evaluation and review technique (PERT) that helps to examine the task and determine the
variation on the critical path method.
Cost: It is another important component of the project in which the researcher describe
the budget that helps to actively manage the entire project in better manner. For this current
project, approx £520 is required in order to conduct the research in better manner.

Legal risk 4 3 12 Breach of
contract law
While implementing the project,
project manager should make sure
that they comply with all laws and
regulations in order to prevent it from
the legal risk. Moreover, this will
help the project manager to complete
the research in better manner.
Ethics, legal, social and security and professional consideration650
In order to attain the define aim and objectives, researcher should make sure that proper
confidentiality should be maintained so that no personal data should be shared to third party.
Moreover, the research should be conduct by complying with all the ethics so that no law may
breached. Moreover, there must be proper communication with all the stakeholder because
miscommunication may leads to interpret the wrong analysis and as a result, aim will not be
attained. Hence, by complying the research in ethical manner will helps to leads the project in
better manner and researcher may easily accomplish the defined goals as well.
Legal issue: One of the biggest legal issue which was related to the research was
regarding the regularities bodies as they are the one who are uphold for the safety of the research
topic involved. So the scholar has to obtain the variety of the approval before carrying on with
the research and the information gather from that source. Another legal issue which was linked
15

with the same was the fraud in research and publication. Any data invention and manipulation in
the data collected for the research is against the legal issue. So the Scholar has to make sure that
high level of credibility is maintained with the data collected (Sonenshein, 2016).
Social issue- this is the major issue relating at the time of researching for the sexual
abuse. This is majorly because of the reason that at time of collection of the primary and the
secondary data it is very crucial for the researcher to know that they must not use any wrong
word or saying. This is majorly to prevent any type of sexual harassment among the respondent
at time of data collection. For managing this situation, it is very necessary for the scholar to take
help of the tutor and to get the questionnaire checked before asking to the respondent. In addition
to this another social issue is the religion. This is an issue because of the fact that in some
religion the meaning of some words is different and for some other the meaning is different.
Thus, it is the duty of the researcher to check and then say anything (Feltman, 2015).
Security issue- under this comes the major part of research that is data breach. Under this
it is the moral duty of the researcher to keep all the data confidential which is being collected
from the respondent in order to continue with the research. Also, this is the responsibility of the
researcher to take the data form the authentic sources and to keep to safe and secure. Another
issue relating to the security is that hacking of the data which is very prominent in the current
world. There are many cyber threat going on in the market like use of malicious software,
sniffing, jamming and others.
Professional ethics: The biggest professional issue related to the research was bringing
the seance of honesty transparency, respectfulness towards the research as there are more than
one parties were involved in the research and all the researcher used to have different sort of the
interest in the outcome of the research (Zhao, Fan and Yan, 2016).
CONCLUSION
By summing up above, it has been concluded that research method are helpful to gain
knowledge and understand in better way so that the researcher will get better results. Further,
report concluded that there is a need to improve the skills in order to attain future goals and in
the same way, being a bachelor of Engineering in Aeronautical field, I posses strong
interpersonal skills that helps me to attain my future goals i.e. to get a good job in Multinational
company such as general dynamics company. Further, report also concluded that there are
different skills which needs to be overcome such that self- confidence, reading for different
16

purpose and project planning so that it will help to attain the future goals in better manner.
Lastly, it has been concluded from the research proposal that in order to attain the defined
research aim and objectives, there is a need to implement the project management plan which
describe all the components in better manner.
